Academic Supports

Studia Hermetica is exclusively an academic project, which means that is based strictly in the principles normally attached to this perspective: textual criticism, research ethics, falsifiability, formality, neutrality… The people who participate in Studia Hermetica are recognized researchers or students (linked or not to an official institution), and not a practitioners or minions devoted to a concrete vision of life, religion, ideology, etc. Our work is published in periodical, scientific and recognized publications in the field.

In this sense, many departments of recognized Universities and well-known institutions support us, which means that they acknowledge our scientific value and our importance as a divulgators in the fields involved in Hermetism and hermeticism.

Studia Hermetica is an independent undertaking, not supported -economically speaking-, by any public or private institution. If you want to contribute to our work, we deeply appreciate it. Be sure that your monetary contributions will be used for supporting our inquiries, or in other words, to buy books related to our fields of research.

RAMIRO TAPIA

Ramiro Tapia is one of the best Studia Hermetica’s friends and supporters since the very beginning. His amazing paintings show us the infinite and marvelous esence of our nature and inner condition, partially inherited from our magical childhood and imagination. The obscure reigns in which we use to spend our time in this orb are perfectly reflected in his artwork.
